Nevelson says, ―I have always wanted to show the world that art is everywhere, except that it has to pass through a creative mind.‖ Using mostly discarded wooden objects like packing crates, broken pieces of furniture, and abandoned architectural ornaments, all of which she has hoarded for years, she assembles architectural constructions of great beauty and power. Creating very freely with no sketches, she glues and nails objects together, paints them black, or more rarely white or gold, and places them in boxes. These assemblages, walls, even entire environments create a mysterious, almost awe-inspiring atmosphere. Although she has denied any symbolic or religious intent in her works, their three-dimensional grandeur and even their titles, such as Sky Cathedral and Night Cathedral, suggest such connotations. (124 words)
1. Which of the following is one way in which Nevel- son‘s art illustrates her theory as it is expressed in the first sentence?
(A) She sculpts in wood rather than in metal or stone.
(B) She paints her sculptures and frames them in boxes.
(C) She makes no preliminary sketches but rather allows the sculpture to develop as she works.
(D) She puts together pieces of ordinary objects once used for different purposes to make her sculptures.
(E) She does not deliberately attempt to convey symbolic or religious meanings through her sculpture.
答案为D。
我在做题的时候就把答案锁定在了C或者D,C讲的是creativity(CREATIVE MIND),D讲的是common objects(ART IS EVERYWHERE),两个点在原文第一句话中都有提到。“I have always wanted to show the world that art is everywhere, except that it has to pass through a creative mind."
而原文在这句话之后的构架也是先讲了她怎么利用身边的普通的物件,再讲了她如何creative,最后说了她的作品中的宗教暗示。由于在原文中的权重也一样,于是我回到了第一句话并且选择了C,因为感觉except后面是艺术家更想强调的概念:光有身边的物品是不够的,更加重要的是creativity。
请教朋友们!!哪里出了错?作者: tutulala 时间: 2015-8-8 10:00:15
首先我们要明确对应关系,第二句话对于物品的排比直接解释第一句中得everywhere;creating very freely with no sketches 代表的不是creative(创造不一定是创造力丰富),相反,no sketches 直接与 freely 互相解释。如果从做题的角度讲,第二句话明显直接解释第一句,这就是为什么要找‘best chioce ’ 而不是plausible choice作者: wfxmfwjw 时间: 2015-8-8 11:04:44
C文中没有allows the sculpture to develop,
而且D这句话没有错误,为什么不选呢?
她在将无用的物品重新组合创作就是 creative。作者: clivia0801 时间: 2015-8-10 09:09:25
